Time on field
Playing time is the amount of time a player spends actively participating in a game or match, as opposed to sitting on the bench.
In team sports, playing time is often a measure of a player's value or status: The rookie earned more playing time after his strong performance.
Parents and athletes frequently negotiate or complain about playing time, making it a charged topic in youth and amateur sports.
The term also refers to the duration of recorded media like albums or videos.
